I would not laugh at that signing, he might help their PP and add depth. He was not that bad when he was on the devils

Except that he didn't know how to play defense.

Would like to se Sykora back with the team for this season. Wouldn't give him a long contract but reckon he might be able to help us out a bit. I'm assuming we have quite a bit of cap space left after Parise left?

Yeah, cap space is not a problem for the Devils this season (or next) - $16 million left.

BTW, re: Foster - we're going to see more guys like him signing one-way contracts and ending up in the AHL because re-entry waivers are gone. I don't think Foster is that good but I think the Flyers lack point men on their power play - if he somehow figured out defense, why not?

I just hope that Sykora is not a devil again, he is just used up and doesnt fit into the current system at all anymore. Especially when he is only useful with Elias who takes hard minutes.

"Jay Pandolfo's last game at Boston University was against the Wolverines," Madden said. "My job was to cover his line. Jay had scored something like 30 goals in 30 games that season. And that was his 31st game. Guess what happened?"

"We always joke about it now," Madden said. "Jay tells me: 'You shut me down that game and you've been shutting me down ever since. The only problem is, now you're playing with me. ' "

I don't know; I know we're you're coming from and I partially agree. And yet, we have to admit, he did what we asked of him last year and MORE, on an almost-minimum contract. 20 goals or something like that? Not bad..

i was talking to my roomate (habs fan) that it was unfair for Mathieu Darche and too bad that he couldnt resign in MTL cause he was a really good veteran and good guy in the locker room and he did a good job in the negociations and everything.. and that i wouldnt mind having him in NJ... well...
